The Maryland canine officer who pleaded on Newsmax TV for a pardon from President Donald Trump has received her Christmas wish.
The former Prince George's County Police canine officer Stephanie Mohr, convicted in 2001 of a federal Civil Rights violation, served 10 years in prison after her police dog bit a burglar during an arrest in 1995.
"I am incredibly grateful to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund for standing by my side and never abandoning me," Mohr said in a statement provided by LELDF to Newsmax on Wednesday. "Without LELDF and its donors and loyal supporters, I honestly don't think this pardon would have happened."

I am so happy for this man!
I don’t know the details of this case, but if you take it at face values it’s sickening. She was sentenced to one year for every stitch the burglar received. I speak from experience, the legal system is out of control and needs to be completely revamped. It will never occur through our elected officials but can via the will of the people. Everyone needs to open their eyes already.
To this day I suspect the kid was illegal......
Say what you will about the President and a lot would be justified.
But you cannot deny, his is an adult, compassionate and logical sense of justice.
In the New Leftist Religion of Critical Race Theory, Racism, as defined as any action by a white person against any of the mutitudinous favored "victim" groups, is much worse than murder.
Sure sounds like a Bolshevik Marxist 1920's Show Trial to me.
She was on Fox this morning - well worth watching her explain it.

Lord, let me live to see the day when people are swinging by the neck from construction cranes.
She lived in Maryland, not America.
This whole vague "civil rights" violation crap is just a backdoor form of double jeopardy. It's the usual liberal trick when the jury doesn't give the government the blood it demands. "Civil rights violation" is a false crime.
President Trump is a good, honest, man. And none of the lies, slander, and bullshit against him is justified. Not one of the sons of bitches, bastards, traitors, and parasites that lie about him and slander him are fit to wipe his butt.
Who made the decision to prosecute this officer. Does anyone in the DoJ ever suffer the consequences of these abuses ?
HOORAY POTUS
“She lived in Maryland, not America.”
Laugh-of-the-day IMO. T bert.
Here’s the actual case
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/318/613/608372/
The case revolved around the accusation that she had the dog bite the suspect for amusement value, rather than because it was needed.
Here’s the crucial bit, from the viewpoint of a court:
“As the suspects stood with their hands up in the air, Delozier approached Bonn and asked: “Sarge, can the dog get a bite?” Bonn “responded with one word, which was yes.” Bonn testified that “ [a]t that time, [the suspects] still had their hands in the air and they weren’t doing anything.” Bonn then witnessed Delozier and Mohr have “a very, very brief exchange,” followed by Mohr releasing the dog. The dog attacked Mendez, who “still had his hands in the air when ... the dog bit him in the leg. [He] went down screaming and continued to scream.” Bonn testified that, prior to Mohr’s release of the dog, Mendez did not make “any sudden movement,” did not “fail to comply with police command [s],” did not “lower his hands,” and did not “attempt to flee in any way.” Bonn did not hear any K-9 warning prior to Mohr’s release of the dog or at any point during the evening.2 As a result of the incident, Bonn pled guilty as an accessory-after-the-fact to a civil rights violation and testified for the government pursuant to a plea agreement.”
I think it was a bad pardon,
George H.W. Bush has a hand in this garbage. Rodney King officers acquitted, horrific riot breaks out, Bush’s DoJ charges them, for the same crime, under a different name.
Well that was the testimony of one witness, likely following a deal for him. What did the other witnesses say?
